HENRY GEORGE FOR oFEICE.
The United Labor Party Nominates q
State Ticket.

SYRACUSE, Aug. 19.-The Committee on
held long session last night. A variety of
propositions was submitted, and the batch
was divided into three parts, one going into
the waste basket, the second being referred
to the Committee on Resolutions as
not pertaining to the platform,
and the third being handed over
to Henry George, who presided, for
his consideration. There are three avowed
Socialists on the platform committee.
After the exclusion of the Socialistic dele
CATION yesterday, besides the re-
iected delegates from the New York
City district and six from
SJnondago county, number of
Individuals from various localities
vacated their seats in the convention. Active
efforts are being put forth by the Socialists
to organize new party, in which they
have the cooperation of active nti-George
influences. They propose to begin their
movement in the shops of New York city,
and extend it then in the State, and that
trades unions be invited to join with what
shall be known as the organized labor
movements, whose members shall be from
unions irrespective of Socialistic or labor
factions.
READING THE PLATFORM.
This mornings session was wholly devoted
to the reading of the platform and resolu-
tions Henry George reported the plat
form, which was adopted.
The Committee on Resolutions made a
long report, which was debated amended
and passed
At the closing session this after
noon State Committee was ap-
pointed, and then the business
of selecting a ticket was commenced. The
old platform adopted at the Clarendon Hall
meeting last year, was taken as the ground
work of the new platform, and enlarged to
suit the necessities of the State campaign
A few of the planks of the platform of the
old Greenback Labor party were also used.
One of the principal of these favored the
establishment of postal bank, and postal
telegraph system. After very spirited de-
bate it was decided not openly to oppose
the Socialistic organization, but as a com
promise a plank was used opposing State
and public control of any subject which is
not a matter of public concern. A full
State ticket was put in nomination as fol-
lows:
For Secretary of State-Henry George, of
New York
For Comptroller A. Wilder, of
Kings
For State Treasurer-B. H. Cummings, of
Montgomery.
For Attorney General-Dennis C. Feely,
of Monroe
For State Engineer and Surveyor-Syl-
vanus A. Sweet, of Broome.

How Snow Affects the Climate

bed of snow covering the ground acts
As a bad conductor. aud renders the ex-
change of temperature between the sur
ta"e of the ground and the lower stratum
OF the atmosphere slower than it would
be If the snow were absent This is n
result of the porous structure of snow, the
interspaces of which are filled with air.
In this matter the condition of the snow
is of considerable importance, the minute
crystals formed by cold are poorer con-
ductorS than the larger flakes but if the
snow by alternately thawing and freezing
assumes the form called uete. it becomes
much better conductor of heat. Farm
ers in countries that enjoy cold winters
are well aware of the protective nature
of the snow covering. and do not fear for
their grain when it is thick.
The presence of snow thus assures a
higher temperature to the upper layer OF
the soil than it would otherwise have, and
its thickness is an equally important factor
with its structure. But its effect on the
air is different, for it separates the ali
from the warmth which without its pres
enCe would escape from the ground Snow
also exercises an important influence
through its power of radiation. which is
dependent on its whteness and the extent
OF its surface, but in which thickness is

The Effect of Leached and I'm
leached Ashes.

On nv intervale is field of three acres
which is covered by water in ordinary
freshets. 1t had been moved many years
without receiving any manure or other
fertilizer, and for the last few years prior
to 1885 cut from the three acres about Is
cwt Of hav annually. Soon after having
in 1885, broke up one acre, narrowed it
well, spread upon it 100 bushels Of leach
ed ashes. leaving strip through the mid
die OF the piece without them, then har-
rowed it again and seeded with one peck
Of timothy and one bushel of redtop seed
and rolled it in. The seed came up well
and made a fine growth before winter
set in, except on the strip without ashes ;
there the grass was feeble. The follow
ing season had very good crop Of hay
OF excellent quality on all except the strip
MANFRED, where got but meager one
In the spring of 1885, broke up another
acre of the same field and applied leached
ashes in quantity and manure as in the first
instance and sowed upon it three pecks of
hungarian grass seed and laid down the land
as before, with the addition of ten pounds OF
clover seed. got more than a ton of hun
garian from the acre and also got a nice
catch Of grass. After having, the same
year. broke up the remaining acre, treat
ing it the same as did the first. From
the two acres last named | got a fine
crop Of excellent hay in 1886. The first
named acre moved the past season again
and took from it a crop but little less than
that of the year before.

not so distinct as it was the previous year

have moved it three seasons. but have
been unable to detect any difference in
the yield. Nv experience teaches me
that land nearly destitute of vegetable
matter will receive as much benefit from
a given amount of leached as from like
amount Of unleached ashes, while land
